Жариялану тарихы
Гари Карлсон Доктор Вейрдке (алғаш рет 1963 жылы Star Studded Comics #1 фанзинінде пайда болған) кейіпкердің ең ерте жинақталған нұсқаларының бірі, Comic Crusader Storybook #1 (Al Greim, 1977) жинағында Говард Келтнер мен Деннис Фуджитаке жазған әңгімеде кездесті. Comic Crusader Storybook – көптеген тәуелсіз суретшілер мен жазушылардың туындыларын қамтитын, қысқа әңгімелер жинағынан тұратын саудалық қағаздық фанзин антологиясы. 1994 жылы Карлсон суретші және жазушы Крис Экермен бірлесіп Big Bang антологиялық сериясын жасады. 1990 жылдары Карлсон Caliber Press үшін Berzerker жазды; Big Bang Comics кейіпкерінің алғашқы канондық пайда болуының бірі – Berzerker #1 (1993 ақпан) комиксіндегі Knight Watchman болды. 1993 жылы Карлсон мен Эдвард ДеДжордж Говард Келтнерден Доктор Вейрдке қатысты барлық құқықтарды сатып алып, кейіннен оны Big Bang ғаламына енгізіп, оны шынайы тарихы бар жалғыз кейіпкер етті.
Gary Carlson was exposed to Dr. Weird (who originally appeared in the fanzine Star Studded Comics #1 in 1963) in one of the character's earliest collected appearances, Comic Crusader Storybook #1 (Al Greim, 1977), in a story by Howard Keltner and Dennis Fujitake. The Comic Crusader Storybook was a trade paperback fanzine anthology which included short stories featuring the work of many independent artists and writers. In 1994, Carlson co created the Big Bang anthology series, alongside artist/writer Chris Ecker. In the 1990s Carlson wrote Berzerker for Caliber Press; one of the first canonical appearances of a Big Bang Comics character was by the Knight Watchman in Berzerker #1 (Feb. 1993). In 1993, Carlson and Edward DeGeorge acquired all rights to Dr. Weird from Howard Keltner, eventually folded him into the Big Bang universe and making him the only character with a genuine pedigree.

Үлкен жарылыс
2010 жылдардан бастап Карлсон «Big Bang Presents» комиксін өзі жариялайды. «Big Bang Comics» алдыңғы сериясы сияқты, бұл Карлсон жазған және Экер мен басқа да суретшілер салған, жеке ғаламдағы жаңа және белгілі кейіпкерлердің алмасу қатарын қамтитын антология. Компания сонымен қатар «Pulp 2.0» баспасы арқылы бұрынғы комикстерді саудалық жинақтар түрінде қайта басып шығара бастады.
As of the 2010s, Carlson self publishes Big Bang Presents. Like its predecessor series Big Bang Comics, this is an anthology featuring a rotating cast of new and established characters in a self contained fictional universe, written by Carlson and drawn by Ecker and various other artists. The company has also begun reprinting earlier comics in trade paperback form through Pulp 2.0 press.
Метафикциялық таңбалар
Әр түрлі кейіпкерлерге көбірек тереңдік беру үшін, Big Bang Comics әлемінде Алтын ғасыр мен Күміс ғасырда болған деп есептелетін бірнеше ойдан шығарылған баспа үйлері құрылды (бұл тәсіл кейін Amalgam Comics тарапынан да қолданылды). Осы жалған мұқабалардың бәрі Caliber Press шектеулі сериясының нөмірінің арт жағында кішірейтілген түрде, ал Big Bang #0 нөмірінде толық беттік көшірмелер түрінде пайда болды.
To give more depth to the various characters, in the world of Big Bang Comics, several invented publishing imprints were created which supposedly existed in the Golden Age and the Silver Age (a device later used by Amalgam Comics). All of these false covers appeared on the reverse of the Caliber Press limited series issues in scaled down shots, and again as full page replicas in Big Bang #0. Title Description Deductive ComicsA tribute to Detective Comics, right down to the lettering. This is supposedly where Knight Watchman entered the Big Bang world along with his sidekick, Kid Galahad. Hi Octane ComicsThe supposed introduction of Ultiman, but this was simply a retitled cover of Big Bang #2 of Caliber Press, using the lettering style of Action Comics. Jolt ComicsThe introduction of the Golden Age Blitz (Mack Snelling) and a tribute to Flash Comics. Policeman ComicsThe supposed starting point of Protoplasman, inspired by Police Comics where Plastic Man began his superhero career. Quantity ComicsMentioned as being the umbrella group for Policeman Comics. This itself is a pastiche of the Golden Age Quality Comics. Red Hot ComicsA comic that starred Dr. Stellar, Vita Man, Robo Hood, The Badge and Stars 'n' Stripes. Red Hot Comics drew the most attention after fans saw the blown up image in Big Bang #0. Many requests were sent in to see Robo Hood and Vita Man in action. Stars 'n' Stripes, however, have never appeared since. Star Studded ComicsMentioned as being the origin of Dr. Weird. The title suggests Star Spangled Comics, although the lettering seems to be a reference to All Star Comics. Thunder Girl AdventuresThunder Girl's solo title, based loosely on the old Fawcett Comics character Mary Marvel, with elements of Wonder Girl thrown in.

2000 жылы "Әділет ерлері" атты телефильм түсірілді. Ол Ultiman және Thunder Girl кейіпкерлерінің Алтын ғасырдағы нұсқаларын көрсеткенімен және компанияның Алтын ғасырдағы суперкомандасының атын пайдаланғанымен, команда құрамына Knight Watchman және BB #21-де алғаш рет пайда болған Masker атты қаһарман да кірді. Бұл екеуі ғаламның ресми тарихында Күміс ғасырдың батырлары ретінде танымал. Команданың мақсаты – суперқылмыскерді жеңіп, Президентке өздерінің қажеттілігін дәлелдеу болды, әйтпесе таратылу қаупі туатын еді. Фильм 1970-ші жылдардағы, арнайы эффектілермен тікелей түсірілімді үйлестірген, белсенділікке толы сенбі күнгі таңертеңгі бағдарламалардың үлгісінде жасалған, сондықтан оқиға Күміс ғасырдың атмосферасын сезіндіреді.
A TV movie named Knights of Justice was made in 2000. Although it featured the Golden Age versions of Ultiman and Thunder Girl and used the name of the company's Golden Age superteam, the team also included Knight Watchman and a heroine called Masker (who appeared in BB #21), both of whom are exclusively Silver Age heroes in the published version of the universe. The team's mission was to defeat a supervillain and prove their usefulness to the President or face being disbanded. The film is loosely based on the hyperactive Saturday morning shows of the 1970s that combined special effects with live action, yielding a clearly Silver Age feel to the action.
